When a Project Needs More Hands

We can carry a project from business case to crews on site, or pick up one step where your team is short.

A row of nine steps from proposal to delivery: proposed, in the programme, designed, estimated, funded, procured, tendered, under contract and delivered. Beneath each step is the additional service that belongs to it, from business case to acquittal, and the programme step is marked as the core service. Plant and equipment renewal, the annual works budget and service level review sit apart as a council level group.
Where each additional service fits on a project's path.

On a Project's Path

Business Case

The need, the options, the cost and the risk, set out so council can decide whether the project goes into the programme.

Design Management

Brief, designer, reviews and sign-off, with the design held to the programme dates.

Design

Design for works your own crews build. On a small job, briefing a consultant can take longer than the design.

Estimating

Estimates from first principles: quantities, rates, crew and plant hours. For a budget bid, a grant application or a check on a tender.

Grant Submissions

The application when a round opens, drawn from the estimate and the programme.

Grant Acquittal

The delivery record kept through construction in the form the acquittal needs, then the acquittal itself.

Procurement

Method, documents, market approach and evaluation, inside your purchasing policy.

Tendering

Specification, conditions, advertisement, evaluation and the recommendation to council.

Contract Administration

Claims, variations, extensions of time and notices, with the records behind each one.

At Council Level

Plant and Equipment Renewal

A fleet renewal programme based on what the crews use and when.

Annual Works Budget

The routine works budget for maintenance, resheeting and drainage, built from the resource loading.

Service Level Review

How often each class of road is maintained, what that costs in crew and plant days and what changes if the level moves.

How They Are Engaged

Scoped on Its Own

Each service is scoped for one project or one year.

Stands Alone

None of them needs the works programme or the monthly report.

Fits the Programme

Where we already run your programme, the work is scheduled into it.
